Extended Question Time Limit Preference

Use extended question time limits for students with special needs who need more time to read or answer the test questions. Reports will indicate if any students took a test using extended time limits, with a footnote explanation.

These are the standard and extended time limits:

The Extended Question Time Limit Preference settings for a student are carried over with that student from one school year to the next.

On the Preferences page, select your school and class from the drop-down lists .

In the Student Preferences section of the page, click Edit.

To let a student use extended time limits, tick the box at the end of the row for that student (in the Extended Question Time Limit column ). You can click the box at the top of the column to tick or remove the tick marks for all the students at once.
